The CoMo Collective has its finger on the pulse of Columbia, Missouri. By reviewing and pre-viewing the music scene, restaurants, community happenings and all things local, the Collective provides a unique glimpse into what makes Columbia special.
I think there is another way to gain additional understanding about a community and that is by getting to know its not-for-profit organizations. The community groups working hard to address our city’s problems reveal both our shortcomings and our passionate desires to improve our home. Therefore, I am delighted to start a new feature on the CoMo Collective – CoMo Community.
Every month we will feature a handful of local organizations, allowing them to introduce, or, more likely, reintroduce themselves to you. We hope these features might shed light on some aspects of the community not everyone is aware of. Maybe they will even inspire you to get involved.
There are hundreds of groups in CoMo working to create a more livable, compassionate community. If you know of a group you would like to see featured, please email me at comokerry@gmail.com. If you work for a not-for-profit, please feel free to add my email to your list of media contacts.“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
